interview with MIR. Parnell.

Charles Stewart Parnell has not been
heard from for some time ON account OF
illness. Sir Henry Thompson, who has
been treating him for a year, insists that
he must recuperate, as otherwise he will be

I do not think it would become me to
~criticise or approve the management OF the
plan of the campaign. was not consulted
at it's initiation, and have since been un-
able, owing to the state Of my health, to
take any part in active politics outside OF
parliament, Those who are on the spot
and actively engaged are the best judges of
what their W honor and interests OF the
country require. Mr.. Davitt is in a differ.
emit position. His opinion is entitled to re.
spect, coming fIom one who is in Ireland, and
who is a man OF singular remarkable cour-
age, who never shrank from the conse.
quences OF his words or acts. But / do not
gather that Mr.. Davitt did ~criticise the
plan. He rather seemed to be apprehen.
sive that things might be misunderstood
In America. In my judgment q iee-
Bile or inert governgment never held lei ms in
Ireland. They are teaching Irishmen q
most disastrous lesson by their bungling
incapacity, teaching that the law may he
successfully defied. For the law, as recent
ly constructed by the Unionist majority
in the house OF commons, is daily defied,
and with %impunity, by thousands
Of members Of suppressed branches
Of the league and by every Nationalist
newspaper editor in Ireland. In fact, one
OF the extraordinary results OF the cosr.
cion act and "a firm ard resolute govern
ment" is that for every offence against the
law committed before the passage OF the
cf,ercion hill hnndrnt1a are eommitfed now
I leave it for you to say whether Ireland's
respect for the imperial parliament. the
possibility of her continued government
by the same agency. or the solidity OF the
Union is likely to be increased. or whether
this administrative incapacity does not
render much nearer the concession Of such
reasonable powers OF sslt.government as
will make our people, law.abiding, prosper.
Gus and happy.

The Terrible Effects Of the Drouth.

A Cara, ILL.,, Special says: Never in the
memory of man has the Ohio river been at
80 low q stage, while navigation has long
since been entirely suspended between
Cairo and Paducah. Every stream is driel
up. Forest fires are threatened south OF
here for forty miles in Missouri; east into
Kentucky and Tennassee and north
nearly one hundred miles in. Illinois the
dense forests are one solid sheet of flame.
Farmers are fleeing from their homes.
What little grain they saved from the sum
mer's work, houses. barns and miles OF
fences are destroyed. Ifrain does not come,
and in abundance, soon thousands OF
these people will necessarily become pau
pers. Areport came that a party OF hunt
ers from Central Illinois, twenty-five in
number, had been surrounded by fire in
"Niggefwood swamp thirty miles from
here in Missouri, and probably were all
burned up. Numerous instances Of loss Of
life are being reported as having occurred
by the forest fires in Missouri, Kentucky
and Illinois.

Much has appeared regarding the discvn-

Most OF it has been published in an inter.

as follows: That Bishop Hars, has given
Mr.. Hinman clear legal dismissory-that

the statement for which no was sued

TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT IT.

The Boston Labor Leader in chronicling the defeat of the South Boston car drivers, tells them that they have made good struggle, but with the amount of surplus labor in the market, it is folly for local or ganlzation to enter into a contest with big corporation; and it un- dertakes to cheer them by the re- hinder that they have no reason for feeling discouraged at the advanta- ges gained during the brief period elapsed since they first organized,
 This would indeed be Imaginable if intended for grim humor. " !" It is high time that the nonsense of our labor organizations was attacked and made odious, as well as the in- justice of those against whom they so vainly struggle. The strike and boycott must give place to more sci entlllc weapons. With the ballot properly handled, there would soon be no need for either of them.
 Is We Leatier not aware that the cause assigned for the failure of this strike is perpetual under present conditions, only growing in in- tensity. * Why does not 7He Le0der tell them that the strike was in the wrong direction, which even if success was only transient and tleeting, while the only strike that can assure permanent results is an intelligent strike at the ballot box-a vote to open the doors of an industrial prison, through nationali- zaton of the land from which all means of subsistence and existence must come, and vote to take the railroads to themselves, in their corporate capacity as stockholders of the municipality, commonwealth or nation.
 Perhaps the strikers would not take kindly to this advice, but it is Brother Fosters duty to offer it all the same, and he knows it to be the on y recipe that will conquer the dis ease. --7he Pe0ple.
